RE: RECALL 13S08 / NHTSA RECALL 13V385 FORD DEALERS COULD NOT DO REPAIRS TIMELY. THIS IS A WORKING COMMERCIAL VEHICLE. BOUGHT PARTS FROM FORD AND HAD INDEPENDENT MECHANIC PERFORM REPAIR. FORD/LINCOLN REFUSED TO REIMBURSE. I FEEL THAT IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED, AND THAT THEIR REPRESENTATIVE DEALERS WERE NOT ABLE TO FIT US IN WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME, THEY SHOULD REIMBURSE AT LEAST UP TO THE AMOUNT THEY REIMBURSE THROUGH DEALERS. THE REPAIRS WERE DONE 2 MONTHS AGO AND APPEAR TO BE SOLID. *TR

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ALARM TO GET YOUR ATTENTION SOUNDED. THIS ALARM OCCURS OFTEN AND IS DISCONCERTING. I TALKED WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND ASKED ON TWO OCCASIONS FOR A FREE DIAGNOSIS OF THE REASON OF THE AIRBAG LIGHT WARNING AND ALARM BUT WAS TURNED DOWN. I DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR OFTEN AS I AM NOT SURE IF THE AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR
